Since I was a kid, therapy has always been an important part of my life. My family went through a slew of problems when I was in middle school and high school, and my therapist Alyssa is one of the reasons I’m here today. When I came to college, I had to say goodbye to my weekly sessions with Alyssa, but I was excited that my university had free therapy sessions available at Student Health Services whenever I needed them. I quickly found that booking a therapy appointment at Washington University is not as easy as they make it seem.

I want to talk about mental health in college, particularly here at Washington University. The school has a poor infrastructure regarding handling mental health from the understaffed Student Health Services to the constant barrage of mind shredding exams and homework, as well as the lack of any semblance of a work-life balance.
